Kitchener's Store Sauce, Superlative

(For Fish, Poultry, Game, etc.) Take a pint of claret or port, a pint of mushroom ketchup, half a pint of walnut or lemon pickle, four ounces of pounded anchovies, an ounce of fresh lemon-peel, pared very thinly, an ounce of scraped horse-radish, an ounce of finely minced shallots, half an ounce of powdered black pepper, half an ounce of allspice, a salt-spoonful of cayenne--or a dessert-spoonful of curry-powder--and a small tea-spoonful of bruised celery-seed. Put these into a wide-mouthed bottle, and let them remain for a fort-night, shaking them every day. At the end of that time strain, and put into small bottles for use. Probable cost, 2s., exclusive of the wine. Sufficient, a table-spoonful for a quarter of a pint of melted butter or gravy.
